Bonds and Bails are the way courts ensure arrestees come to court and deal with
the charges at hand. If the Judge sets a bond or a bail on someone, you have
the right to bond or bail him out of jail.
Bonding or Bailing an inmate out of jail is fairly easy to do.

You can view the bail amount on the Inmate Listing website
or you can call the jail at (509) 397-5585 and ask the Officer what the bond or bail total
is on the person you are trying to bond or bail out. If an Officer tells you
the charge is "Cash Bail Only", that means you can not use a bondsman.

If you decide to bail someone out of jail, you need to come to the Jail and
present the necessary amount of cash of the bail. There is no such thing as
10%! When you bail someone out, you will pay the full amount. We do not accept personal checks.
We only accept cash or certified checks. The use of a check will delay the release until we are able to confirm with the bank the check is valid.
Bail may be paid remotely using inmatecanteen.com. See the website for more details.
It must be cash or certified check. We can take debit and credit cards on Whitman County District Court charges only.

If you decide to bond someone out of jail, you need to contact a bondsman. You can find a list of bondsmen

is usually around 10%-15%. The bondsman will need to know the charges and bond amounts for the person you are bonding out of jail.
